~ Blackguard Foraker is afraid to accept
the challenge of Walter Mills to meet upon
the debating stump. Mills is the Prohibi-
ton candidate for Lieutenant Governor, and
as he is an excellent debstor would do little
breeches up in short order, as his (Fora-
ker's) whole stock in trade is nothing but
blackguardism and low political billingsgate.

"a Fellow Democrats, we have the power
to squelch Foraker. All we need to do is to
turn out to man to the polls in November.
Enough Republicans are disguised with him
to make his defeat certain if we all vote. We
have less than five weeks to do our work in.
Let our committeeman be active and see
that every vote is brought to the polls.

are opposed to Foraker's scheme to raise the
tax valuation of their farms one hundred per
cent. Foraker says that the farms are not
valued at more than 25 to rs per cent. of their
value and he wants them raised at once and
not wait for the land appraisement in 1890.

IMPROVE YOUR SPARE MOMENTS.

A great deal has been said about the
time person spends in a state prison
being a total loss, etc. But this is not so.
and in refutation of this mistaken idea
we are glad to be able, by permission, to
mention the case of A. G. Whitman, who
was discharged last Saturday. Mr.. w.
served a three years sentence. and was en-
pIOyed in one of the cOmpany's offices.
Instead OF wasting his time, as so many do,
he applied himself closely to his duties,
and devoted a good portion of his evenings
to the study of stenOgraphy. He also
learned typewriting, and became expert in
both these branches of business education.
And it is not alone in the offices that a man
can improve himself during his confine-
ment here. He can do it in the shops as
we'll. though perhaps all may not be able
to accomplish as much as Mr.. w., but
SOMETHING in the way of lettering your
condition can be done if you only have the
WILL. We know OF several others who
are determined that their temporary So
iOurn here shall not be void of some good
results. if self-culture counts for anything
and determination to ''gO straight" after
their release is adhered to. Some are
studying the languages; others book-keep-
ing, arithemetic, mathematics; quite a
number will master shorthand and type
writing and telegraphy; some are trying to
become competent at the trades at which
they are employed Though this. as a gen.
eLal thing, is difficult of accomplishment:
unless man is serving long term the
opportunity of learning trade in all its
branches is exceedingly rare, as each
branch has its separate workers. Young
men. especially those who have had
little OF no opportunity for learning on the
outside. should improve every moment of
their spare time in trying to put themselves
in condition to earn an honest livelihood
when they again assume the role citizen
ship. You can if you will only try. Will
you not make the effort?

from out of town subscribers in consequence
of their failure to receive THE MIRROR,
some claiming that they have not received
the last five numbers of their paper AS

plainly addressed to all it's subscribers and
exchanges we are at loss to see where
the fault is. One of our Minneapolis eX-

and as the writer attends personally to the

and Minneapolis bundles from the office,
we are certain the fault is not with us.
Perhaps it would be we'll for the postoffice

In the removal from the state of Hon.
Liberty Hall. prison inspector, the state
loses an upright, faithful officer, and the
inmates of this prison firm friend, who dur
ing the short time he has occupied place
on the board of inspectors has ever shown
by word and deed that he had our interests
at heart. and though we regret that we
are to lose so upright an officer, he will be
followed with the prayers and good will
of the entire population of this institution.
We clip the following biographical sketch
of Mr.. Hall from the st. Paul Dispatch of
the 21st, which will be of interest to all of
our readers:
Liberty Hall, the well known newspaper man.
who is soon to leave Minnesota after active work
in this field for mere than twenty years. is a man
we'll fitted to ornament any profession. He is the
son of mechanic and farmer, jeremiah Hall, and
was born at Peru, oxford county, Maine, July 81,
1926. He was raised on a farm until he IS
years OF age; meanwhile receiving academic
education at Monmouth. Me. After leaving col
lege. he taught school in winter and worked at
various vocations during the summer months
travelled with DIR. Calvin Cutter, the famous
writer on physiology and hygiene, for four years,
after which he represented, on the road, the pub
fishing house of d. Appleton Co. for twenty
five years. During that long period of quarter
of a century he travelling almost constantly
and visited every state east of the Mississippi
and several west of it. During the last fifteen Of
those years his home at Rochester, N. Y,
where he served sevral years school director,
being president of tile board one term.
Having lost four sisters by consumption, and
being affected himself, Mr.. Hall concluded to
come west 1866. He settled at Glencoe, Mimi,
and, purchasing farm, cultivated it during the
following four years. In 1878 Mr.. Hall purchased
the Glencoe Register and retained possession of
it until a few weeks ago. when he sold the jour
nal to Mr.. c. H. Slocum. He was also the senior
member of the firm of Hall Il Greaves, druggists
and book sellers of Glencoe. AS journalist he
always looks for the abstract right of question
and advocates it with great power. His po-
litical leaders in the Register have repeatedly
found many influential factors in the public sem
timent in the state.
Soon after settling in Glencoe MIR. Hall was
elected superintendent Of the county schools,
which Office he filled credtably for four years.
He has done good work in elevating the standard
Of the pu bic schools of Mcleod county. Mr.. Hall
has always figured prominently in politics as a
staunch republican. He is liberal in his religious
views, and is good hearted, CHEEKY and happy

1t is to be regretted that Ex.Warden
Reed of the state prison has stopped so low
as to attack the private character of War
den Stordock in answering the charges pre-
ferred against him by the latter in the man.
agement of the prison affairs. The charges
against Reed are that he Incorporated
some of the prison funds, and had improper
relations with some of the female convicts.
The latter charge was generally discredited,
as it rested wholly upon the word of a
degraded female convict. Reeds answer
